I have an odd issue going on, and if there are any singers here, I'd love some advice.
OK. Not meaning to pat myself on the back, but I used to be one hell of a singer. Won awards, had benefactors want to back me in a singing career, etc. I had decent range, and loved to sing almost anything.
Then I got married LOL. My husband and I have had many shouting matches, and my voice, I am afraid, has become damaged. What worries me is that it might be permanent.
I was never very good at soprano, but I killed on mezzo-soprano and contralto. Had a mid-range to low-range voice. Now all I can sing is contralto. My voice cracks any time I try to sing anything higher than contralto, and sometimes it even cracks on contralto.
This has been going on for years, and this is why I think my damage is permanent. Is there any non-surgical way that this can be repaired? Would practice help? I have tried to "power through" songs that I used to be able to sing, that I can no longer, and it's just cracked and sounds terrible.
